    The gameplay in Luigi's Mansion 3 is praised for its whimsical charm, engaging mechanics, and diverse level design, offering a rich experience filled with inventive puzzles and satisfying boss battles. While some mechanics, like Gooigi, can feel cumbersome, the overall gameplay loop is enjoyable and encourages exploration, making it a standout title on the Nintendo Switch.

    • “There is so much charm in every nook and cranny of this experience, and it has an addicting gameplay loop that carries through into every floor of this haunted hotel.”
    • “With a great range of puzzles and challenges alongside a series best in gameplay and combat, it is a game I wholeheartedly recommend to any Switch owner, especially in this most spooky of times.”
    • “The Gooigi mechanic, while it may add some gameplay variety, is a bit of a chore to use.”
    • “Overall gameplay: okay. Mechanics: it's a little hard to control the direction of your Poltergust with the analog stick; apparently, you can turn that off in the settings, but the fact that it's enabled by default is a little annoying.”

  • story
    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story of the game is engaging and enjoyable, featuring a classic rescue narrative that, while not overly complex, offers a fun and immersive experience.

    • “The story mode being the main draw of the game will last you around eleven to fourteen hours to finish - which is pretty long for an entry in this franchise.”
    • “However, that's only if you go for the bare minimum of completing the story - without looking for any secrets and whatnot.”
    • “If you go for full completion, the story will last you around twenty hours.”

While some players miss the suspenseful elements, the beautifully crafted environments, diverse soundtrack, and polished graphics contribute to a rich and enjoyable experience. Overall, the game compensates for its atmospheric shortcomings with engaging gameplay mechanics and a fun ambiance.

    • “The atmosphere is top-notch, further supplemented by the diverse soundtrack and polished graphics reminiscent of a Pixar film.”
    • “Beautifully crafted rooms and atmosphere, fantastic sound design, builds on the basic formula without changing it drastically, great pacing throughout, fun puzzles that never feel too difficult.”
    • “The only elephant in the room here is that the game is lacking the atmosphere of the first entry on the GameCube.”
    • “Maybe I'm older now and I don't feel the same as I did as a kid playing the original Luigi's Mansion, but the atmosphere of the game feels more light-hearted and fun than suspenseful and scary.”

    • “This game features both local and online multiplayer, which significantly enhances its replayability.”
    • “Because I was able to beat LM3 so quickly and with an A-rank on the first try, there is no replay value in it for me, and I am already tempted to sell it.”

    The music in the game is highly praised for its immersive themes that enhance the atmosphere, contrasting with previous titles that featured more silence. The diverse soundtrack complements the polished graphics, creating a cinematic experience akin to a Pixar film.
